Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, the affluent Nigerian entrepreneur better known as Zenco, has disclosed that numerous individuals were restricted from transferring funds to his account during the funeral of his mother.
The tycoon’s mother passed away earlier in 2025, and her burial service in Ukpor, Anambra State, rapidly turned into one of the most discussed occasions in the nation.
Zenco spared no expense to pay tribute to his mother, reportedly allocating over one billion naira for her specially crafted coffin.
The event showcased lavish tents, traditional performances, a convoy of luxury vehicles, and an extensive list of celebrities and prominent figures.
